Orbi rbr50 w/ 5 satellites going down the tubes on speed.
i have 5 sattelites to cover my 1 story 4000 squarfoot home on 3 acres. i have half gig service which if i plug in any other non netgear router into my modem i get near full speed every time (i eve...
Wow, for that size of home and sq ft on one level, thats too many RBS. RBR50 and 1 RBS covers my 2story 5000sq ft home with basement without any problems.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Lets remove the RBS20 and RBW30 and just run the RBR50, RBS50 and the outside RBSY for now...
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

Is Circle or Armor enabled?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update?
Thanks for comments... tried and no improvement.
A) took off a few satellites. No change and blind spots in my coverage
B) could be that my house has a lot of tile, glass, and cement siding which could inhibit signal vs other materials.
C) used 30ft rule and adjusted layouts vs line of site, more blindspots
D) full reset. Speed on stats moved from 100m/full to 1000m/full but at additon of 3rd satellite dropped to 100m
E) manipulated channels and no performance improvement.
I'm still at a bit of loss. Still open to suggestions.

Is Daisy Chain enabled?
- Yep. Daisychain is enabled. House is a big "L" router is at the corner and is more than 50 ft to the end of each point then there is the iot in the yard for gardening
So can you try the RBR and two/three RBS connected?
The RBR is at the left corner of the L? If so, you may need to disable Daisy Chain. Or is at the end of the L?
What wifi channels are you using?
